Random Thoughts, Or Are They?

Hello People. As I watched the captor today, bundled up like an oompa loompa, clearing the latest 8 inches of global warming, I was ready to throw my paws up and shout "I give". But then I thought, you know what, screw you Mother Nature!  Bring it on! It will make the other three seasons that much sweeter! That could have been the catnip talking but it made me feel better.
Anyway, aspiring rapper "Black Madam" is facing a host of charges, including 3rd degree murder, after a 20-year old exotic dancer died during what's known as a 'pumping party'. A pumping party is where people pay for illegal cosmetic surgery. 42-year old Padge Windslowe, apparently known to her clients as "the Michelangelo of Buttock Injections", injected the would-be beauty queen's behind with a mixture of industrial grade silicone and Krazy Glue. Shockingly, it killed her.The victim flew in from Europe, checked into a Philadelphia motel and paid $1800 for the "procedure" after reading about it on line. My question is, is it murder or a voluntary cleansing of the gene pool? You make the call.
35-year old New Jersey high school teacher Nicole DuFault is facing 40 charges aggravated sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child for allegedly having sex with 6 different 14 & 15 year old students, on multiple occasions, at school and in her car. One of the "encounters" was caught on tape, purportedly by another student who was standing nearby. Waiting his turn? I don't know. The single mother of two, who taught language arts for 9 years, claims the boys were the aggressors. Her attorney says, "If the video depicts certain things happening, that doesn't mean my client isn't innocent. People are victimized by juveniles all the time". LOL! Good luck with that defense!
There's an on-going ballyhoo over the President's refusal to refer to the Islamic lunatic terrorists as "Islamic", even though, to the rest of the world, that's exactly who they are. For whatever reason, the President prefers nicknames like "violent extremists", ISIS or ISIL. When the captor was young, she had a friend they called Hambone. She hasn't seen her in over 25 years but she thinks about her every time she makes bean soup. My point is, nicknames have their place. This isn't one of those places. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, Mr. President, it's probably a duck!
